Why (Even) Gifted Children Need Cooperative Learning.
Sapon-Shevin, Mara; Schniedewind, Nancy
Educational Leadership, v50 n6 p62-63 Mar 1993
Marian Matthews' article in the October 1992 issue of "Educational Leadership" reports that many gifted students are resentful of cooperative learning structures. Cooperative learning is not just a teaching technique but involves learning to respect and appreciate others' differences. Much of Matthews' criticism actually addresses limited, simplistic, unimaginative, and poorly structured group work. (MLH)
